Sobre IBD

Between Merwin and Greger, Overtones of Poetry is a reflective collection exploring memory, spirituality, ecology, music, and isolation as the result of unrequited love. Near the end it considers a dystopian future due to environmental destruction, yet ends on a brighter note. Its poetry is steeped in lyrical observation, and a contemplative poetic dialogue with former U.S. Poet Laureate W.S. Merwin and poet Debora Greger. After each poem’s title, there is an epigraph from one or the other of them, with the poems then moving between physical experience and inner consciousness, creating a world where symbolic perception and daily life overlap. Glenn D’Alessio creates a work that feels in tune with nature, and includes a social conscience; yet is attentive to the outer and inner worlds people inhabit. Readers are invited into a contemplative atmosphere where memory, imagination, love, loss, and the natural world echo through one another in unexpected ways. 6

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
